Warming Up Russian T55 Tank Engine used in a Tractor

I agree Ron.Just another reason.

Definitely not air cooled. T55 v12's are water cooled. These pulling machines are run for shot periods like a dragster. No need for cooling system

how do you keep it from overheating? There seems to be no cooling system

Damn ... Fedor has a bad ass tractor !

Has anyone else noticed the look of... smug satisfaction on the driver's face? There is a man who loves what he does.

Big noisy beast

Runs on cyka power.

air cooled ? I know nothing about those type of engines..

Where's the radiator?

Нифигасе немцы откапиталили - даже не дымит!

Uh sir, you might have a minor exhaust leak.

Must be a torque monster...

burns all fuels.

i sure hope this engine isnt "stock" making 500-800hp.... im sure there are better ways to make that amount of power than a ww2 engine......right? or am i completetly missing something

highly advanced engine

Why are the back tires backwards?  The chevrons bite the other direction.

Now do a ATG 1500 Turbine from the M1A2/M1A1/M1

Why three air hoses to the motor, when only one was used for starting?

Just telling that this thing sounds completely normal. It is after all a tank engine and has dimensions and stuff like that are quite big, This makes the engine more reliable. AND it does have a cooling system. You can see the water pump in front of the engine. Cooler is prolly somewhere under the driver.

no exhaust manifold gaskets? :)
